Steven Levy “propose[s] that Facebook grant us a friend-list-do-over” in his recent article for Wired “Facebook Reset.” We might think that Facebook can “green” old hardcopy address books — or slips of paper stuck into wallets, piled on desks, or wadded up in bags. However, if we are like Levy, we “desperately need” a Facebook spring cleaning since our friend lists “[resemble] the contents of a house occupied by a hoarder.” Digital trash, green as it might be, is still trash after all.
